Chapter 270

After the costly fight in Shinjuku, the sorcerers and their allies set about rebuilding. The chapter checks in on a broad cast as each settles into a quieter, uncertain road ahead, then ends on a new case that draws the first-years back into the field.

Standing before Tsumiki's grave, Megumi voices his gratitude to Shoko for tending to his sister so she might rest well, while Shoko owns up to regret over Geto's body and her own doubt that any afterlife exists. A phone call pulls Megumi away, leaving Shoko to toss her cigarette before she goes. Over at Hida's Holy Mountain, Gakuganji reports that the Sukuna remains drawn from Megumi still carry Tengen's absorbed vestiges, so housing them there will sustain Tengen's barriers across Japan for a time. Utahime urges early planning, yet the Kyoto principal preaches patience and trust in the younger generation. Noritoshi, for his part, comes home with his mother's branch of the family.

Maki gives the weeping Daido a katana cursed tool and tells the pair, Daido and Miyo both, that there is no longer any point to the Culling Game. The plan now sends Yuji and Hana to peel cursed objects off incarnated players and reclaim those carried off by the American military. She quietly nudges the two incarnated men to lie low in Tokyo, which stays sealed off and thick with cursed spirits. Daido savors the chance to keep swinging his blade, Miyo finds wrestling curses dull, and before they split Daido wins Maki's promise to duel him someday. In separate vignettes, Charles Bernard wrestles with his manga under the eye of the Shueisha worker he injured, while Takaba bickers with his comedy partner over where acceptable jokes end and crude ones begin.

Back in Sendai, Amai tries apologizing to the student his group once bullied, only for the young man to bolt, prompting Amai to admit he has his own work to do. Higuruma returns to his law office and hears from Shimizu that no charges were filed over his killings, which he reads as Jujutsu Headquarters wanting him as a sorcerer; Shimizu, now representing the victims' families, vows to pursue a retrial against him, and he welcomes it. At Tokyo Jujutsu High, the Angel notes that Sukuna's trickery against Hana restored Megumi's memories of her. An awkward hallway moment follows: Megumi vows to serve henceforth as the right arm Hana lost, she takes that as a proposal, and a flustered Megumi excuses himself for a mission.

The closing mission grows out of Ijichi's report about a woman who came home two weeks prior to find her fiance's eyes abnormally enlarged. When the first-years meet the couple, the man appears wholly ordinary, and his partner wonders whether the curse rests on her, leading Nobara to examine her. Yuji and Megumi argue over the cause, with Megumi suspecting an awakened Culling Game player acting as a curse user. The chapter ran in Weekly Shonen Jump's 2024 issue 43 under the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, and the author's note jokes about an attorney's conflict-of-interest rule.
